Explanation
If you can choose among three lanes on an expressway, use the right lane if you are driving slower than other traffic. The middle lane is ideal for steady travel or to allow other vehicles to enter the expressway. Keep in mind that the right lane is often used for entering and exiting, so in heavy traffic, avoid it unless you plan to exit soon. On highways with three or more lanes in the same direction, the far-left lane is generally reserved for passing. Always drive in the center of your lane, stay between the lane lines, and avoid unnecessary lane changes.
